Problem with validation of file upload

Hi,

I have a problem with the validation of the file uploads. I have a form which contains 3 upload fields. I want to check these files on type (doc, pdf,zip) and on size, but for some reason the validation isn't triggered. The only thing I noticed, files of an incorrect type (e.g. jpg) are not sent or stored on the server.

The form code (only included the upload files):

<table>

<tr>
	<td colspan="2"><b>Scriptiebijlagen</b> 
	<br>Upload de volgende bijlagen (totaal maximaal 10000 KB)
	</td>
</tr>

<tr>
	<TD>Samenvatting</TD>
	<TD><input type="file" name="ExamSummaryAttachment" id="ExamSummaryAttachment" />
	<B>*</B>	</TD></TR>
</tr>
<tr>
	<TD>Volledige scriptie</TD>
	<TD><input type="file" name="ExamAttachment" id="ExamAttachment" />

	<B>*</B>	</TD></TR>
</tr>
<tr>
	<TD>Bewijs van afstuderen (bewijs van cijfer waarmee scriptie beoordeeld is of cijferlijst)</TD>
	<TD><input type="file" name="ExamCertificateAttachment" id="ExamCertificateAttachment" />
	<B>*</B>	</TD></TR>
</tr>

</table>

The file upload settings:

ExamSummaryAttachment:doc|zip|pdf{2000-1},ExamAttachment:doc|zip|pdf{7000-1},ExamCertificateAttachment:doc|zip|pdf{1000-1}

What am I doing wrong?

Hi tlant,

so if you tried to upload a jpg file and submit the form, what happens ?

Max

When submitting a jpeg file, the form is submitted and sent. I get a message saying thanks for your reply (as set in the from settings)

The only difference with submitting a doc file is the fact that a jpeg file is not added as an attachment to the email and the jpeg file is not saved on the server. Doc and pdf files are sent as an attachment and saved on the server.

So you don't get an error because you upload a jpeg file which is not a supported extension ?

No, no error. I was expecting one, but not error appears and the email is sent

Hi tlant,

I just ran a test in RC 4.11 and couldn't reproduce this. The error message appeared each time I tried with an incorrect file type.

strange, i'll do some retesting

As far as I can tell, we are using '3.0 STABLE 17.09.2008'. Could that be a problem?

Hi tlant,

Could be - the RC4.11 is a Release Candidate but it's pretty stable and an improvement over 3.0 stable
